PROGRAMS
WINTER SHELTER
Saving lives in cold rainy weather
From Jan.-April* we provide temporary emergency shelter for up to 50 men and women, totaling over 250 individuals annually. Guests stay overnight, receive a hot dinner, breakfast, bag lunch and a shower.
* In light of Covid, we are committed to staying open as long as the shelter in place orders stand.
HOPE PROGRAM
One Step at a Time
During Summer and Fall our HOPE Program serves up to 30 unhoused individuals, providing temporary interim shelter and a 1:1 mentor who helps support the guests' own life plan. Goals such as stable housing, financial stability, personal well-being, job searching and empowerment training are covered.
DAILY DROP-IN SHOWER PROGRAM
For guests and all unhoused
Showers are available for guests and for anyone who lives on the streets, in their cars, or those with housing but without showers.
POSITIVE OUTCOMES
WINTER SHELTER
With 82% unsheltered in Santa Clara county (the highest in the nation) and with the annual death rate of the unhoused dramatically increasing each year, we
* are literally saving lives
* are in our 5th season and have served over 1000 unduplicated guests
* ensure that staff and guests work in collaboration with each other, rather than from a place of hierarchy
HOPE PROGRAM
We are about to start our 4th season. The majority of our guests are able to
* find a higher paying job
* find housing
* receive better medical care
* reconnect with family
* create a greater level of stability
Key to this is by matching a community partner to accompany the HOPE guest in their pursuits.
DAILY DROP-IN SHOWER PROGRAM
Grace Solutions provides showers to the unhoused on a drop in basis.
* This gives what most take for granted: basic hygiene, health and dignity
* We average 120 showers/week

Dana
Dana, a guest in our winter shelter, was recently laid off from his job. He says he feels respected by everyone here, like he's part of a family. It is safe, clean and free from the typical drama in most shelters. He is grateful for having a place where his basic needs are being met and he can focus on getting work.
